How Southern New Hampshire University calculates GPA
Southern New Hampshire University calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course’s grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.
The SNHU grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the SNHU scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there is no D-.
Failing grade: Southern New Hampshire University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
When a course is repeated, only the most recent attempt counts toward the cumulative GPA; the earlier grade is excluded from the GPA (both remain on the transcript).
